tax write-offs

Sup Peepz...

Can someone tell me if there is a website that i can go to that explains what expenses (if any) that i can and can't write off on my taxes next year? I've been saving all my receipts just in case. Any feedback, as always, will be much appreciated.

The rule is "is it a normal and customary expense for your business" that was NOT re-imbursed by your employer.

Simply consider each item you purchased based on the above statement.
